    I got permabanned for reporting anti-theisitc and transphobic trolls for being insulting edgelords. Weirdly enough they still let you delete your account even when it’s been banned.

    I wish Lemmy was as active as Reddit, I miss my niche subreddits. Where am I going to go to talk about philosophy and Sonic? And seriously, where’s the damn porn?

      They don’t delete your account automatically, because then they can legally keep using all of your data. Once you delete, they have a legal obligation to delete almost all of that data, as per GDPR. Not sure about outside EU, but honestly it may very well be the same or similar. Sometimes it’s cheaper to implement GDPR worldwide, instead of on a per region basis.

      I wish Lemmy was as active as Reddit, I miss my niche subreddits.

      I deleted my account a few months ago. I don’t miss any of the big subs, because that sort of content is on here too. But there are some niche topics that simply don’t have enough traffic here to support good discussion.

    The only value of Reddit for now is as a huge archive of data useful in one or another way. And since to browse most of it you don’t even need an account, there is no need to bother yourself with creating one.

    Content not viewable in your region.

    Could you provide an alternate link? Or maybe use the image button to upload it to your instance so it’s out of the control of some corporation?

    (Imgur deleted a bunch of content for the crime of not having a paid subscription, and they geoblock my country because the data protection commission threatened them with a fine for selling children’s browsing history and they’d rather take it out on users than simply filter the accounts they auto-tagged as children out of the data they were selling. We left reddit for a reason. Imgur is no less moneygrabbing.)

    If you are here and you haven’t been perma banned from reddit. I question your integrity and values.

    Burn the bridge.

    Burn it all down.

    I’m not deleting mine, but I haven’t used it since they killed RiF.

    I might need a very high karma, very old Reddit account at some point in the future… For reasons…

    Have barely touched it since the API controversy. I can only see it declining as time goes on.

      it was pretty much 50% bots around the time API disaster occured. after the great purges this year, it just accelerated the bots having to shore up the actual user numbers. since reddit realized they were purging too much, and unwilling to unban people, they switched to background purges.

    I remember deleting my account around when they introduced their recap things. I don’t want to know where I posted/commented/viewed a lot. And I DEFINITELY don’t want the app tracking all that.
